Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 19 Jingshui River Demon—Taolong

With the guarantee of Xiang Zizhan, the Jingshui County Magistrate, everyone had no choice but to agree. After all, as the county magistrate said, as long as rainfall can be brought, it does not make any difference who is offering sacrifices.

Xiang Zizhan smiled slightly at Xu Zisu, nodded, and then turned around to deal with the matters required for the sacrifice.

They had discussed it last night and everything would proceed as usual, and he would be responsible for forcing the monster out of the water and removing it.

As long as it can be proven that monsters are causing trouble, and then the county government documents are added, the matter will not be difficult to solve. As for praying for rain, it is destined to end without any problem.

On the other hand, the wealthy merchants in Jingshui County had doubts in their eyes. If they could accumulate such a huge family fortune, they were certainly not easy to fool.

As the time for praying for rain approaches, the sacrifices will be replaced. How is this possible?

It's like two armies facing each other, changing generals at the last moment is a child's play,
So there must be something fishy in it.

But, what does this have to do with them?
The money that should be collected has been received, and the things that should be done have been done.

After that, we have nothing to do with them anymore, no matter how much we love them.

They looked at each other, a smile appeared on the corner of their eyebrows, turned around and went out to watch the show.

The rituals of praying for rain are complicated, but fortunately he does not need to participate, he can only perform sacrifices.

The whole morning passed quietly, and there was only one step left in praying for rain: offering sacrifices.

I saw that under Xiang Zizhan's instructions, everyone threw three animals and six animals into the Jingshui River.

Thousands of people held incense and bowed down to the Dragon King Temple.

It's his turn to play,
Xu Zisu walked out of the Dragon King Temple and slowly looked at Wan Min. He saw the power of incense emerging from Wan Min's head, and then slowly condensed towards the Dragon King statue.

In less than half a moment, a golden bead of incense was condensed inside the stone statue of the Dragon King. Although it was not as big as the golden bead he got in the deserted temple, it still contained the incense and wish power of all people.

And this was his winning weapon against the Jingshui River Demon.

To put it bluntly, there is no need for a living sacrifice. His purpose is just the huge incense power.

Soon, the willpower of all the people was gathered together, and the incense and golden beads became slightly larger.

Xu Zisu smiled slightly and reached out to take the incense and gold beads inside the Dragon King statue.

The Jingshui River suddenly churned, creating waves several feet high. A dark shadow in the river stared at Xu Zisu, who was holding a golden bead and smiling on his face.

Xu Zisu glanced at Zizhan and nodded slightly to Zizhan.

"Start the living sacrifice!"

the sound fell,

I saw a pair of very cute boys and girls being pulled out.

A very innocent smile appeared on his young face, as if he didn't know what he was about to experience.

At this moment, a young man in a Confucian robe ran over angrily and snatched the two little guys.

"Scholar, what do you want to do?"

The expressions of the two big men at the side changed involuntarily, and they hurriedly scolded.

"Two living lives, you guys actually want to push them into the water. Could it be that you have no conscience? They are all born from the flesh and blood of the human heart. Why are you so cruel? I am the edict of this Jingshui County and should educate you and others who are ignorant. heart of."

"There are still you who sit back and do nothing and pretend to be the sons of men. Are you not a mother and a father? Do you have children under your knees? Do you know the joy of having a son?"

"And you, a parent official, allowed the common people to take the lead and did such an unscrupulous thing without stopping you at all. After today, I must go to the state capital to report it."

Everyone looked at the angry and angry scholar in shock, and couldn't help but lower their heads. But when they remembered that praying for rain was a matter of life and death, they all raised their heads. Cutting off people's food is like killing people to death. No one can change the living sacrifice today. One thing.

If that doesn't work, the scholar will also be drowned.

Countless people secretly thought about it, with a fierce look in their eyes.

The corner of Xiang Zizhan's mouth twitched. Where did this stupid young man come from? He just cursed at him.
However, he also felt a sense of admiration for the scholar. After all, he definitely wouldn't have the guts to do this.

There was also a hidden gaze in the darkness looking at the scholar who nodded frequently, such a passionate scholar,

What a pure heart.

After finishing speaking, the scholar still seemed to be upset and looked up at Xu Zisu who was standing with a very complicated expression. In the end, he did not curse loudly, but he still said sarcastically: "Little Master, shouldn't you, a Buddhist, be compassionate? No matter what, you do such an outrageous thing, I am looking down on you."

A smile appeared on Xu Zisu's face.

I see,

To be honest, the magistrate of a county is not even an official, he just feeds the imperial court.

So it is extremely difficult to get ahead.

He had also thought about how this scholar got ahead. Now it seems that the reason lies here. I am afraid that this scholar has fallen into the eyes of Zhang Dunqian, a superior official.

What some people just lack is an opportunity.

"Amitabha."

"Donors, please be patient. Sometimes what you see is not necessarily what you believe."

Then he glanced at Zizhan, nodded to him, waved his hand, and waited until the yamen servant stood up, ran to the front, and took the scholar and two young children aside in the astonished eyes of everyone.

Xu Zisu's face condensed and he took a step forward.

This step did not land, but stepped into the air, and then walked towards Jingshui step by step.

Flying out of thin air, this...
The people of Jingshui looked at this scene with shock on their faces.

Could it be that this little monk is Buddha?
"Everyone, this rain praying ceremony is caused by the Jingshui River demon causing trouble, and the Dragon King Miao Miao Zhu is conspiring with the demon to harm you. Please don't be fooled."

As Xiang Zizhan's voice spread, hesitation flashed in the eyes of all the people.

monster?
Are there really monsters?

"If the donor doesn't come out, I won't get the incense and gold beads."

Xu Zisu's voice lingered on the water.

In the eyes of all the people in shock, the Jingshui River surged, rolling up a huge wave several feet high. Along with the huge wave, a very huge beast appeared, with strong limbs, piercing eyes, and long, pointed... Its mouth, countless ferocious teeth, and a body of scales shimmered in the sun.

"There really are monsters."

"Monster!"

······
There were countless sounds of chaos, screams, and panic. At this moment, praying for rain was completely forgotten.

Everything is not as important as your own survival. This is human nature.

Xu Zisu couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the ferocious beast in front of him.

Not only did the demon in front of me know him, but he was also very familiar with it.

Dragon dragon,

If the dragon doesn't know, he has another very famous name: crocodile.

That's right,

The monster in the Jingshui River is the crocodile.

In the current world, the dragon is also a dragon, and may contain dragon blood, so it is reasonable to be able to move the heavens and call the wind and rain. After all, this is a person's special skill and innate magical power.

As for his cultivation, he had not yet broken through the spiritual sea in his perception, which made him secretly relieved.

As long as he is still innate, he has nothing to fear. After all, his cultivation has now broken through to the late innate stage, and he also possesses the Vajra Dharma Body.

It shouldn't be a problem to save this guy.
